Best Pickaxe Enchantments

Each build lists its total and most expensive step. Prices assume separate fresh books at the required levels and an item with no prior work in Java. Set the penalty separately for an item with history; material repair costs are not included.

Not always: transferring the right-hand book's enchantments costs levels at every step. The cheapest order depends on contents and input penalties. Open the specific build's plan for the left and right input of each operation.
